TOP 5 QUESTIONS
TO ASK YOUR WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER BEFORE THE BIG DAY
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and capturing it on film ensures those memories last forever. But finding the right wedding videographer can be tricky. It’s not just about loving their previous work—you’ll want to make sure they’re the perfect fit for your big day. So, here are the top 5 questions to ask before you book.
1. What’s Included in Your Wedding Videography Packages?
It's important to know exactly what you’re paying for. Ask about what's included in the packages and any optional extras. Some videographers might offer full-day coverage, while others may only cover specific parts of the day.
At 3 Cheers Media, our packages cover:
Full-day filming (from bridal prep to first dance).
Professional editing with a cinematic touch.
Highlight reel and full-length video.
USB and online access for easy sharing.
Don’t forget to ask about add-ons like drone footage, extra hours, or teaser videos.
2. Can I See Examples of Weddings You’ve Filmed in Essex?
Every videographer will have a unique style, and you’ll want to make sure it aligns with your vision. Ask to see examples of their past work, specifically weddings filmed in Essex. This will give you a good idea of their experience filming in local venues and how they use the surroundings to create stunning shots.
We’re proud to say that 3 Cheers Media has filmed countless weddings across Essex, from Southend-on-Sea to Colchester. Our familiarity with local venues and scenic spots ensures we know the best places for beautiful shots.
3. How Do You Handle Sound Recording?
High-quality visuals are only half the story—good audio is just as important. Ask about how your videographer captures sound during the ceremony and speeches, and whether they use external microphones to ensure crisp audio.
At 3 Cheers Media, we use professional microphones to capture clear, high-quality audio, and we always bring backups, just in case. We aim to ensure every heartfelt speech and vow is heard perfectly on the final film.
4. What Is Your Approach to Filming Weddings?
Every wedding videographer has their own style and approach, whether it’s documentary, cinematic, or a blend of both. It's essential to know how they’ll be filming your wedding—will they be discreet in the background, or take a more hands-on approach?
At 3 Cheers Media, we take a cinematic yet natural approach to filming weddings. We aim to capture the day as it unfolds, focusing on genuine emotions and candid moments, while also getting some stunning cinematic shots.
5. What Are Your Payment Terms and Cancellation Policy?
Weddings can be unpredictable, and things don’t always go as planned. It’s important to understand the payment schedule and cancellation policies before you book. Ask about any deposits required, the payment schedule, and what happens if your plans change.
We understand that flexibility is key, so we offer clear payment terms and a fair cancellation policy, making sure you feel confident and comfortable from the moment you book.
Conclusion: Make Sure Your Wedding Videographer Is the Perfect Fit
Booking the right wedding videographer is about more than just liking their previous films. Asking these questions will help you find the perfect match and ensure your wedding day is captured just the way you envision. At 3 Cheers Media, we’re always happy to discuss our approach and packages to make sure we’re the right fit for you.
